Chapter 240: Chapter 237: Mysterious Express Delivery; Strange Ransom

"Fine! If it’s not, then it’s not!"

Qin Wan clung to Qin Zhao’s arm, worried about her distress, and comforted her, "Zhaozhao, your aunt will always treat you like her own daughter. We don’t care about him as a father!"

"It’s okay, I don’t care about them."

Qin Zhao had already known the truth and didn’t mind. Instead, she comforted Qin Wan by patting her hand.

"You guys must be here to enjoy the drama, right?"

Qin Siyu saw Qin Yu coming from outside the door and wasn’t in a good mood.

Back then, with the train station project, Qin Yu knew there were problems but didn’t advise him enough, just letting him fall into the pit. What kind of brother does that?

And when he was struggling, this brother, who was so wealthy, flatly refused to lend him a penny!

"Get out of my house, I don’t welcome you!"

Qin Yu gave him a cold glance, too lazy to argue with him.

He asked indifferently, "Do you need help with Qin Kejing’s matter?"

This big brother really frustrated him, and that’s why he had disliked interacting with him for years. However, Qin Kejing was still his niece related by blood, and seeing her in danger, he wouldn’t turn a blind eye.

Regarding the train station project, after Qin Zhao checked the Feng Shui and pointed out problems, Qin Yu advised Qin Siyu not to invest, but Qin Siyu didn’t listen.

Eventually, when things went awry, Qin Siyu even had the audacity to call and scold him for not stopping him.

People like Qin Siyu were typically selfish, only concerned with their own benefits. Thus, when his interests were harmed, he always liked to shift the blame onto others.

Qin Yu decided then that he would never cooperate with him again.

Later, when Qin Siyu’s company encountered problems and he sought Qin Yu’s help, Qin Yu still refused.

"Who needs your help? Just get out!"

At that moment, Qin Siyu was overwhelmed with resentment and anger towards them, completely forgetting that his daughter had been missing for several days. He just wanted to drive them away.

Qin Siyu’s wife, Zhou Rui, however, came to her senses.

She hurried over and said, "Come in and sit down first! Qin Yu, if you know anyone at the police station, please help us. Ask them to send more personnel to find Jingjing.

It’s been such a long time, and there’s still no clue. I’m really worried something happened to Jingjing!"

As she spoke, Zhou Rui couldn’t help but choke up.

"Of course."

Qin Yu responded, knowing he indeed had such connections.

"The most important thing right now is to find Qin Kejing quickly. Don’t you agree, big brother?"

Despite Qin Siyu’s earlier behavior of driving them away, Qin Yu didn’t take it to heart. His good temper actually calmed Qin Siyu down, "I’ll head over to the Feng family first."

Uninterested in dealing with his sister and brother, he decided to leave first.

Zhou Rui wiped away her tears and tried to smooth things over, "Your brother has just been too worried about Jingjing’s safety these days, so his temper hasn’t been very good. Don’t take it the wrong way, please come in and sit down!"

Her gaze fell on Qin Wan and Qin Zhao, who were affectionately arm in arm, looking like mother and daughter.

Zhou Rui paused slightly then suddenly asked, "Zhaozhao, how has your recent work been going? I heard you also attended the charity auction recently. Did you see Jingjing there?"

"I saw her, but we didn’t talk."

Qin Zhao’s response was rather cold, which made Zhou Rui, nominally her mother, quite embarrassed.

"You child, after being away for so long, couldn’t you even call me ’Mom’? Don’t take to heart what your dad just said to you. He always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

Qin Zhao mercilessly replied with a cold laugh.

Instantly, the atmosphere grew tense, leaving Zhou Rui even more embarrassed.

In the past, Zhou Rui wouldn’t have been so polite to Qin Zhao. But today, not only was Qin Wan present, Qin Yu also seemed to be closer to them, and she still needed Qin Yu’s help in finding contacts.

Zhou Rui forced a laugh but didn’t continue the conversation with Qin Zhao.

Qin Yu made a phone call, reaching out to a friend at the police station to inquire about the situation. The friend also knew about it; however, the information shared wasn’t very optimistic.

Because Qin Kejing had been missing for five days, yet not a single clue had been found. After being missing for such a long time, it was very possible that something unexpected had happened.

While Qin Yu was on the phone, a security guard came to look for Zhou Rui.

"Madam, there is a parcel for you at the gate. The courier said it must be collected by you personally."

Zhou Rui looked slightly surprised, "I haven’t bought anything recently, where is this parcel from?"

"Perhaps someone else sent it to you?"

"Alright, I’ll go take a look."

She instructed the maid to take good care of the guests before she got up to collect the parcel.

Before long, she returned with a box.

Qin Zhao sat next to Qin Wan, chatting idly about various things, including travel and wedding plans.

Because Chu Yan had discussed this matter with Qin Wan, saying that the preparations were almost complete.

Zhou Rui used a utility knife to open the parcel.

At that moment, Qin Zhao suddenly felt something was off.

She smelled a faint, bloody scent!

Qin Zhao looked towards Zhou Rui, about to speak, when she heard a scream.

"Ah!"

Zhou Rui turned pale, and she threw the parcel box out of her hands.

Qin Yu, hearing the commotion, quickly hung up the phone, "What happened?"

The parcel box fell onto the coffee table, spilling its contents.

Bloody fingernails!

Apart from these bloody fingernails, there was also a piece of fabric that seemed to be from the dress Qin Kejing had worn that day.

"This, this is Jingjing’s dress!"

Zhou Rui stared fixedly at the piece of fabric, instantly recognizing it.

Her eyes were filled with bloodshot, afraid to look at the bloody fingernails and even more terrified to contemplate what might have befallen Qin Kejing!

"Wuwu, what should we do? Why would they torture Jingjing like this? Is Jingjing still alive?"

Zhou Rui eventually couldn’t hold back and burst into tears, covering her face.

Qin Zhao picked up the bloodied fingernails and placed them on the coffee table, exactly ten in total.

"Why would someone send this to you?"

"There’s also a note here."

Qin Yu checked the parcel box again and found something else.

He took out the note, which had a line of text written on it.

"To save your daughter, the ransom is 2.3 billion."

After Qin Yu read the note, his expression turned peculiar. The amount of the ransom was strange, why wasn’t it a whole number? They had asked for 2.3 billion, why not just demand three billion?

"A ransom of 2.3 billion? Is that exactly how much liquid assets your family has?"

Qin Wan also asked Zhou Rui in surprise.

If that was the case, it seemed the perpetrator knew their family’s situation very well.

"We don’t have that much."

Zhou Rui, who worked in the company, was also aware of the company’s financial situation.

Her face was as pale as paper, and after a long time, she stammered, "Originally, when Feng Aicai invested in our company, it was exactly 2.3 billion that solved the company’s crisis.

Could it be that he wants to take back that money, so he kidnapped Jingjing?"

After all, Feng Aiyuan had also disappeared, but the Feng family was not worried at all and hadn’t called the police.
